Bus surfers were filmed clinging onto the back of a bus to have a free ride around London.

Two males were recorded griping on the back of a 114 bus travelling from Mill Hill to Ruislip on Monday (April 6).

The pair were seen then jumping off as the bus approached The Highlands bus stop in Burnt Oak, near Mollison Way.

Both daredevils had their faces concealed, with one hiding his face with his hand and another pulling up his hood.

By doing this, they avoided paying the £1.75 adult bus ticket for a single journey.

One person said on X: “Same guys who will be wearing expensive tracksuits and talk about making or spending a lot of money.”

Social media page UB1UB2 said on X: “Honestly, the grip strength required to hold on while the bus is moving is impressive, but one pothole and this could have ended badly.”

Siwan Hayward, TfL's Director of Security Policing & Enforcement said: “We are aware of the incident and will work closely with the Metropolitan Police to assist their investigation.

“If anyone has any information about this dangerous and reckless behaviour, please contact the police.”

The Metropolitan Police have been approached for further information.
